HMS Wild Goose (U45)

HMS Wild Goose (U45)

HMS "Wild Goose" (U45) was a "Black Swan"-class sloop of the Royal Navy. She was one of several ships of that class that took part in the famous "six in one trip" in 1943 (in which six U-boats were sunk in one patrol).

She was built at Yarrow shipyards in Scotstoun, Glasgow. She was launched on 14 October 1942.

The "Wild Goose" was sold for breaking up in February 1956, and arrived at the breakers at Bo’ness on the Firth of Forth near Edinburgh on 26 February.
